Abstract
A patient is presented who developed agranulocytosis while taking amodiaquine for suppressive therapy of malaria. An amodiaquine-dependent granulocytotoxic antibody could be demonstrated in the patient's serum on day 1 after stopping amodiaquine medication. Granulocyte transfusion was ineffective on days 6 and 7, possibly due to the slow elimination of the drug.Entities:
